Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Ottoman Stitch Stripe Jacket

by Erica on July 15, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 15, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I almost get the sensation that I’m looking at a Magic Eye poster when I look at this Givenchy Ottoman Stitch Stripe Jacket. It’s definitely different and very appealing to the eye. I love how Keri Hilson sports it with a pair of black skinnies and a peep-toe boot. Such elegance when it’s worn so simplified. I’m very curious to see how this jacket would look with a pair of jeans as opposed to the all-black ensemble. So, if you want to get the look and not be on the waiting list and spend $1557 on this striking jacket, here are a few more choices!

Canna Striped Blazer

UPDATE (07/15/2011): Just came across another fabulous and budget-friendly Givenchy alternative by Canna.

Alice + Olivia “Sage” Striped Blazer

I love this Alice + Olivia “Sage” Striped Blazer! I love the shoulders and the pockets! Very similar to the Givenchy and you won’t be out $1557 either. Priced at $368 this jacket is definitely a steal. But, if it still doesn’t fit your budget we have some more for ya!

Aryn K. Stripe Blazer

This Aryn K. blazer has slightly bigger stripes than the Givenchy and the Alice + Olivia, but I’m really enjoying the collar detail around the neckline on this one. And priced at $94, I’d say it’s pretty budget-friendly!

Tart “Camryn” Jacket

Now this Tart jacket looks the most like the Givenchy with the striping. However, it looks more of “going to the office” than a jacket that you can wear more casually. Nonetheless, if you like the look and you’re really loving the stripes of the Givenchy and want something a little more affordable, I’d go for this one!

525 America Striped Blazer

OK, so I’m not sure how I feel about this jacket by 525 America. I like the buttons, but I feel like it should’ve been a full-length sleeve rather than a 3/4 sleeve. Especially since you have the button style of a pea-coat! It does look cute with jeans and priced at $95.99, it might suit your taste for the warmer weather that’s soon ahead.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Whitney Port’s Rocker Look

by Velicia Hill on November 10, 2010

OK, for the record, this look of Whitney Port does not cater to my personal style (I ONLY wear sneakers to the gym), but since every taste is different, I will write this from my younger sister’s point of view who’d kill for this look! So if you’re anything like her and love that I-just-threw-this-on feeling, then pay close attention. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and read along how to rock this nonchalant chic look without the rock/movie star paycheck!

In Paris Hilton’s Closet – Rebecca Minkoff Claudia Dress

by Irina on April 30, 2010

Say what you want about Paris Hilton, sometimes she cleans up nice like she did a few days ago when she attended the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Style Issue Event in LA. Paris dressed up in a black & white Rebecca Minkoff Claudia dress which instantly reminded me of Gwyneth Paltrow’s risqué Antonio Berardi see-through dress at the Two Lovers Premiere back in 2008. Paris added matching black accessories and completed her outfit with the infamous YSL Tribtoos. What do you think of Paris’ monochrome look?
